Looking at the back, I guess that means it is HDMI only? I don't have one so I'm not sure. Missing the physical switches will affect some games like Phil said. I guess it will work with a Harmony cart, that is good news. The price point is incredible. As long as they don't find a SNES inside later on, this should be a great thing for the community. Except for cart prices going up.

Dude, hair dryer.

I'll have to get an HDTV first. I guess they're catching on.

Did a little better. Don't forget, catch a humanoid and hold onto it, that way no other humanoids can be picked up. Also, screw you baiters. ????

I was better at Defender when I was young. I love when you get killed when an alien hits your exhaust. ????

Ballblaɀer's collection: 2600, 5200, Vectrex, and...

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread until now. Awesome, awesome stuff Rob. Thank you for sharing. -
I loved this game, but it can be infuriating.

Nope, it's the 24th. The Colecovision model number is 2400.

I love Reggie Jackson Baseball. Much better than great, in my opinion.

This is ringing some faint bells for me, believe it or not. Despite my better judgment, I included the words "red tube" in a search, but only came up with the Pente game, which is decidedly not electronic. There were some other results that I won't go into here.

Ugh, I am so bad at this. I didn't realize this post was stickied, thanks to Justin (?) for doing that, I am honored! Some recent highlights: I talked with Mike Montana, son of Glib programmer Rich Montana, for the Glib episode. It was great talking with him, and I found out he works in the same town in which I grew up! Small world. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/134_-_Glib_by_Selchow_and_Righter.mp3 I also spoke with Joe Grand, who created the wonderful homebrew game SCSIside. He has done so many cool things that we talked about on the show. I had a great time talking with him as well. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/135_-_SCSIside__Ultra_SCSIside_by_Joe_Grand.mp3 I am currently running a contest to win an Atari 2600 Jr. with a bunch of games. If you'd like to enter, you can listen to this short episode to find out how. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/Contest_Win_an_Atari_2600_and_Games.mp3 Finally, I am taking a bit of a break from regular 2600 episodes. I am burnt out, and doing the podcast is more work than fun. I want to talk about other things to get me back to a good place with the 2600 stuff, so I have started what I'm calling Bonus Tracks, which will be sporadic episodes about random non-2600 stuff. I posted the first one today, which is about when I was a paperboy in the 80s. http://traffic.libsyn.com/2600gamebygamepodcast/Bonus_Track_-_My_Year_as_a_Paperboy.mp3 Thank you for listening!

Yay Bill! He also does a great Peanuts podcast, which you can find here: http://charliebrownpodcast.libsyn.com/ And he wrote a book! https://www.amazon.com/In-St-Nick-Time-ebook/dp/B0092902GW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1347218210&sr=8-2&keywords=in+the+st.+nick+of+time Welcome Bill!

If you have an ancient TV with a horizontal hold, you should be able to adjust it to play PAL games. My parents still had a TV like this when I started collecting in the 90s. I found a PAL game and brought it over there to test it out (I read about it on Usenet) and it worked.

Welcome, always nice to see younger people getting into the old stuff. I was in Erie once a long time ago, I think they may have had a classic game shop there at that time. Of course, this was before you were born, and now I feel ancient.

Sign me the hell up for this!

I always enjoyed his work. He just did a great interview on the WTF podcast maybe two weeks ago. Rest in Peace Bill Paxton.

Man, I love stuff like this. Thanks Rob! Is it okay to share this on my Facebook page? -

I was lucky enough to hear it when he opened for the Monkees in 1987. -

Officially, it will be on the rarities disc of his career-spanning box set coming out soon. He posted a video of it on Vevo. I think I got my copy from Napster. -
Original Price Tags on Old Gaming Stuff
fergojisan replied to nosweargamer's topic in Classic Gaming General
I like the KayBee stickers because you can tell the year they got to the store. I have one or two from 1985 I believe.
